Welcome to the new blog we have created for our family! Brian and I are blessed to have three beautiful children - Noah, Zeke, and Selah. We are a family that is passionate about Angels baseball, swimming in our pool, spending time with the people we love, and most importantly, growing closer to Jesus. I hope this blog brings a smile, or maybe a tear of laughter, empathy, or joy to your face. Please enjoy spending time with us!

Wow... it's all I can say! I can't believe that it has been ten years since I married the love of my life. Brian and I have been through a lot of stuff in ten years. In some ways I feel like I had to have been just a kid when I married B... it seems like we have grown up together. And in a lot of ways I think that is true. I can still remember telling him on our 3 year anniversary, "I love you but I can honestly say we have only had one good year of marriage." Can you believe I said that? Looking back I can't believe he didn't punch me! He has yet (seven years later) to forget I said that. Marriage just seemed so hard when we first started -- add in moving counties, building a house, and being insanely sick with a pregnancy -- our start was a little rocky! But the Lord is always faithful to continue His work in our lives. We loved each other and Him and our marriage has continued to be strengthen with each year we are married.

We were lucky to be able to celebrate with a cruise... without the kids! Yay!!!! We had a fabulous seven days. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip. We laughed because it is hard to come up with new ideas for pictures when one of us is always holding the camera away from us to take the pic! :)

B continues to be the love of my life, and now I can honestly say that we have had ten great years of marriage! And I am looking forward to a lifetime more together!
